It has taken my husband and I several months to leave the house overnight with two kids. I recently had to go out of town for work. So, we decided to make the most of it and do something fun in Chicago while we were there. I miss my kids something fierce when I am not with them. So, this trip with them kept my homesickness at bay. Our first stay at a hotel went relatively well. We did the typical things like look for airplanes and jump on the bed. After my duties were complete we headed over to Shedd Aquarium to see the "fishies." A loved it. E wasn't really into it. Anyways, here's a summary in pictures.

Major props to the man walking down the road that offered to take this picture for us. My big camera usually intimidates people.
